Model checking requires a specification of the target system’s desirable properties, some of which are temporal. Formulating a property of the system based on either its abstrac...
The ‘engineering’ and ‘adaptive’ approaches to system production are distinguished. It is argued that producing reliable self-organised software systems (SOSS) will necessa...
Activity diagrams are a well-known means to model the control flow of system behavior. Their expressiveness can be enhanced by using their object flow notation. In addition, we ref...
